https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=667&t=2 https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=667&t=2 1.13 kw/h per pound of coal burned. 260 lbs of coal enables processing of 1 ton of co2, of which about 500 lbs is captured as carbon flakes. You could burn coal, producing 525 lbs of co2 for the energy needed to process 1 ton of co2 in total, so you end up capturing 375lbs more carbon than is produced. 125lbs of the carbon flakes come from the coal, the other 50 lbs of carbon in the coal is lost as byproducts and inefficiency. So running this process, even on pure coal, sequesters 2.75 to 3 times as much carbon as it produces as co2.
